I can't believe I'm doing this but.....
I'd like to request some smilies. Specifically Discworld smilies, Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Death, Susan, Rincewind, Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat, Agnes/Perdita, Vimes, Carrot, Nobby Nobbs, all of them!
Please. And may the gods forgive me for contributing to the horde.

None of my usual sources have anything in stock. Looks like this will be a commission. I have the perfect artist in mind too, but his online activities have been a bit irregular lately.

Re: I can't believe I'm doing this but.....
How do you make smilies? Is it a pixel by pixel job?

Primarily. That's how the great geniuses work. There are shortcuts, though. I personally use gradient fills, but that's not really possible with smilies that are meant to look like specific characters. You need to make facial features and accessories one pixel at a time.

Re: I can't believe I'm doing this but.....
Wow. That sounds time consuming. Would "Paint" work for it? Then a GIF animator?

Re: I can't believe I'm doing this but.....
Paint can do the trick, yes, although it's a tad unwieldy. Definitely not a quick and easy thing to do. Until you've tried it, you can't imagine how hard it is to make a quality smiley.
Interested in trying your hand at it? If so, I happen to have the motherlode of emoticon tutorials, listed for your convenience in software order: Making Emotes: The Tutorial Master List

I know you've posted that link before, but now I think I may check out those GIMP tutorials.

Cool! You're a better man than I, Gunga Din. GIMP scared me away permanently the first time I opened it.

And a flashlight if you're a Baldwin brother offering to..."assist"...Darryl Hannah.
Wow, the bitter, dark recesses of my brain have vomited forth a horror...

Is that one of those recursive acronym things? Gimp Is My Photo editor, or something?
